In 100 Greatest Ancient Coins, Berk tells the stories behind 100 coins ranked by collectors, dealers, historians, and researchers as the most significant.

The book is coffee-table-size, 144 pages, with enlarged full-color photographs. Retail price is $29.95. 100 Greatest Ancient Coins is available for pre-order at www.whitmanbooks.com, and will be sold at hobby shops and bookstores nationwide starting in late April.

I bought the current keystone of my Roman set from HJB.
Regardless of what others consider the top 100 ancient coins, that Otho denarius is my personal #1 right now.
